A lovely opening night production with grounded performances by Barb Clifford and Geoff Coulter. At times the play is uproariously funny while also touching the heartstrings a few moments later.

Theatre on the Ridge celebrates its tenth anniversary with the staging of Canadian playwright Norm Foster's 'On a First Name Basis'. The play originally premiered at Theatre Orangeville, Ontario in April 2013. Foster's plays are known for their comedic flair, but he also has a talent for weaving poignant moments into his work.
